Hello Chris: I have never seen a green laser collimator , I bet that would cool,
but the Mw would have to be very low so It wouldn't damage your eyes while
trying to align the secondary mirror. But I did find a small red laser pointer
the kind used to tease cats with or for pointing at presentations. It's small
enough for me to insert in to a 0.965 old Barlow, all I have to do is make sure
I install it dead in the center of the Barlow. 
  It will be fun trying to built one. Also I found a friend that has a green
laser pointer rated at 10 Mw very bright.  You can even see it during a Full
Moon!  You won't believe the cost . under 50 bucks!  Thanks for your help!

I have not seen any for sale but I machined a couple of
adapters that allowed me to use standard 5mw green laser
pointers and when combined with some quality step-up
adapters, allowed me to use one laser with any size
focuser up to 2".

However honestly, I have never used them to collimate a
scope with a .965" focus tube.

If you really need one, I would be willing to sell one
of my 5mw green laser pointers with collimatible .965"
nose piece and Orion .965" to 1.25" adapter for $100.
